How commonly are human provided target identifications wrong in comparison?

How often should we allow machine provided targets to go unverified by a human before killing every innocent student inside the target?

That's Hegeseth's Pentagon today, now that all the experienced generals loyal to the Constitution have been purged.

How often should we allow human provided targets to go unverified by a human before killing every innocent student inside the target?

That is, the question of whether targets should be verified is orthogonal to the question of whether humans or AIs supply targeting data with fewer errors.

		Not often, and when it does happen, those that commit criminal negligence should be served justice. It shouldn’t be hard to gather intelligence that shows “kids go to school here.” Then again, bad American intelligence dragged them into a very expensive war in Iraq on false grounds and we’re still trying to get justice served 23 years later.

Doesn't matter. We have ways to hold humans accountable.

		That we do. So it'd be pretty cool if that was done responsibly too, and being able to answer my question very much matters for that. If these things do outperform servicemen, or if there's not enough data to assess that, then selectively reporting this in headlines is not exactly helping anyone, quite the contrary. Especially knowing that there's a significant anti-AI sentiment among people as-is, I really wouldn't put it behind news outlets to couple that with some conveniently missing context and take advantage of people for some cheap clicks. Kinda been the theme for a while now if you noticed. Whether that then results in society making responsible decisions, and holding the correct people accountable...
